Now in his 16th year, KU coach Bill Self noted after the game that he thought Azubuike exceeded expectations in his return. Azubuike hit 10 of his 13 field goal attempts and also blocked two shots in his 20 minutes. Eastern Michigan coach Rob Murphy also noted he didn't expect Azubuike to have as prevalent a role as he did in the game. On the other side of things, James Thompson IV had 15 points and 14 rebounds for Eastern Michigan.
